LIDAR Visualizations with HERE Technologies

Self-driving cars require a high definition (HD) map to precisely understand its location on the road, the rules of the road, and what lies ahead.

Join Xin Chen (https://www.mccormick.northwestern.edu/research-faculty/directory/affiliated/chen-xin.html), Director of Engineering at HERE Technologies, to learn and visualize how the company transforms terabytes of raw data, collected from LIDAR sensors, into the world’s leading HD map for automated vehicles.

Meetup attendees will experience the latest in visualization tools for mapmaking from the company that created one of the first digital maps of the world.

HERE Technologies (http://here.com/) has more than 1,200 employees in Chicago, the company’s Americas HQ. HERE technologies includes Intel, BMW and more as investors.
